Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A portable computer, comprising: 
 a main body having a depression;    a first frame having a partition;    a first input module optionally disposed on the main body through the first frame and having a first sub-module and a second sub-module, wherein the depression is separated into first and second regions by the partition, the first sub-module disposed in the first region, and the second sub-module disposed in the second region;    a second frame; and    a second input module optionally disposed in the depression through the second frame.    
     
     
         2 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a connector disposed in the depression and electrically connected to the first input module and the main body.  
     
     
         3 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a connector disposed in the depression and electrically connected to the second input module and the main body.  
     
     
         4 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first frame is engaged with the depression.  
     
     
         5 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second frame is engaged with the depression.  
     
     
         6 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first input module is tenon joined on the depression by the first frame.  
     
     
         7 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second input module is tenon joined on the depression by the second frame.  
     
     
         8 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second input module comprising a desktop-type keyboard module.  
     
     
         9 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first sub-module comprises a portable-type keyboard module.  
     
     
         10 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second sub-module is a numeric keypad module, biometric recognition device, tablet device, wireless communication module, or remote control.  
     
     
         11 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first sub-module is tenon joined in the first region of the depression, and the second sub-module is tenon joined in the second region of the depression.  
     
     
         12 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the main body comprising: 
 a first connector disposed in the first region of the depression to connect the first sub-module to the main body; and    a second connector disposed in the second region of the depression to connect the second sub-module to the main body.    
     
     
         13 . A portable computer, comprising: 
 a main body having a depression;    a keyboard connector disposed in the depression;    a sub-module connector disposed in the depression;    a frame removably disposed in the depression, having a partition separating the depression into first and second regions, the keyboard connector disposed in the first region, and the sub-module connector disposed in the second region;    a portable-type keyboard module removably disposed in the first region of the depression through frame and electrically connected to the main body using the keyboard connector; and    a sub-module removably disposed in the second region of the depression through the frame and electrically connected to the main body using the sub-module connector.    
     
     
         14 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the sub-module is a numeric keypad module, biometric recognition device, tablet device, wireless communication module, or remote control.  
     
     
         15 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the frame is tenon joined in the depression.  
     
     
         16 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the keyboard module is tenon joined in the first region of the depression, and the sub-module is tenon joined in the second region of the depression  
     
     
         17 . A portable computer, comprising: 
 a main body;    a frame disposed on the main body, with a partition separating the main body into first and second regions; and    an input module disposed on the main body through the frame, wherein the input module has a keyboard and a remote control, the keyboard disposed in the first region, and the remote control removably disposed in the second region.    
     
     
         18 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 17 , further comprising a keyboard connector disposed on the main body.  
     
     
         19 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 17 , further comprising a remote control connector disposed on the main body.  
     
     
         20 . The portable computer as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the main body has a depression, with the frame and the input module disposed therein.
